Marino, Cuban bid on Pens


Good news in the battle to keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh.

National Football League Hall of Famer Dan Marino and Dallas Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban -- both Pittsburgh natives -- have joined with a New York City financier in a bid to buy the team. There are at least four other offers to buy the team, though the Marino-Cuban offer is believed to be the only one fully committed to keeping the Penguins in Pittsburgh.

There It Is take: I really don't want to see the Pens leave Pittsburgh. As much as I can't stand them, there's too much history to lose if they leave, plus the natural rivalry with the Flyers would be lost forever no matter where they would move to. As such, if this is the offer it takes to keep them where they are, then I'm all for it. Not to mention that having Cuban as an owner would guarantee getting the NHL a whole lot more national exposure.
